    Some time ago, there was a thread with Kevin Kelly talking about how he had the Electronic Whole Earth Catalog lying around, but how to get it online? About 6 people hopped in; we helped him transfer the CD-ROM. Now it's running at the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/the-electronic-whole-earth-catalog …pic.twitter.com/CdKUuJS2A9

        It will take a while for you to get it running. It's 430mb of Hypercard Stacks (over 9,000 cards!!) on this thing. I would highly suggest running this in Incognito/Private mode so nothing else collides with it. Thanks to @mrstephencole for doing the final bit of making it emulate

        Officially, Stewart Brand considers Whole Earth a relic of its time that we have, as a Whole World, entirely outgrown. But information in context is always interesting, and this CD-ROM was a monumental achievement.https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-silicon-valley/the-complicated-legacy-of-stewart-brands-whole-earth-catalog …

        that sounds like an enormous task. several of the print editions are already scanned & on @internetarchive. you should definitely check to make sure it's not online already!
